Welcome to Atakad website. I do hope you enjoy the new

format and layout.

My first introduction to the Birman Breed was when I moved to Lincolnshire in 1975. Through my business I met one of the ladies who imported one of the very first Birmans into this country. She told me many wonderful stories about these gorgeous cats. I decided that I had to have one of my own. At the time I owned two ginger moggies who were brothers but decided that it would not be fair on them to introduce a new cat into the household so I waited until they went to the “Rainbow Bridge”, they both lived until they were 22 years of age!!I then went on the hunt for my first Birman, after six months I eventually found a Blue Point male, Oakside Blue Dominick. I called him “Herman the Birman”. As I was very active in the dog show scene with my Dalmatians I decided that it might be fun to also try my hand at exhibiting Birmans so I then looked for a show quality kitten which I eventally found from Pauline of Elmridge Birmans, a blue point girl Elmridge Blue Jewell (Lilley). This was the start of my showing and breeding of Birman Cats.I applied for “Dakata” for my GCCF affix which is my Kennel Club affix for my Dalmatians and Toy Poodles but the GCCF would not accept it so I tried for “Atakad” (Dakata reversed) which they finally accepted.
